Restoring Colour to A Composite Door
Composite Doors are available in a wide selection of colours. These will boost your doors’ personality and turn heads straight away.
One way of bringing colour back to your door is to take away the colour completely and take away any dirt from the doors’ surface. When you wipe the windows down straight away, your door will look in fantastic condition. And, it will get a completely different shine.
The next thing you will need to do is put on a layer of Polyrol, which helps bring a layer of shine and style to the door. Before doing this, it is essential to let the door dry for at least 24 hours as applying it to a wet surface will not produce the desired effect.
Black doors are a popular choice of colour for homeowners. They maintain a serious and industrial effect on your door – especially when contrasted with a white building.
